Set the phasers to rot

What has got you distraught?

It's negative attention at best

Baz sits up in the night, instantly able to tell that something is wrong. He looks to where Simon is supposed to be next to him, but finds the other side of the bed empty. He heads down the hall to the kitchen, where he can see a light on.

When turns the corner, he finds Simon sitting on the counter, sipping a mug of tea. He looks up when Baz enters, but it's clear he's not really seeing him.

"Are you alright, love?"

But call it nothing

"Um, yeah. I'm good. I was just having trouble sleeping and didn't want to wake you up. It's nothing. really." he says with a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

"Come back to bed, Simon," says Baz.

Simon drinks his last gulp of tea, slides off the counter, and heads back to the bedroom with Baz.

Maybe it's something, a little bit, a little bit

Maybe it's something, do a little bit, a little bit

Simon is already making breakfast the next morning when Baz gets up. He wraps his arms around the blonde's waist and rests his chin on his shoulder, kissing his cheek, as Simon turns his head to kiss him properly.

"Go sit down. I'll bring your eggs over, they're almost done."

It becomes clear rather quickly during breakfast that Simon got little to no sleep the night before. Baz says nothing.

It's all about ascension, I guess

Don't put me to rest

Go on and hand me your clothes

Simon knocks firmly on the door, which is soon opened by Penny, who lets them in with a smile.

"Who is it, dear?" Calls Agatha from the kitchen.

"Simon and Baz!" Calls Penny.

Soon, the small flat is filled with music and laughter, as a group relatively larger then Penny and Agatha had planned for had more fun then they'd had in a long time. Everyone was enjoying themselves so much that neither woman could find the energy to care.

Take a picture or two

I can see you

The four friends spoke animatedly in the kitchen, almost out of the way of the party that half the group had planned. The all turn to face Garret as he enters the kitchen with a laugh, Rhys holding his hand and trailing close behind of them, both of them laughing hysterically and clearly having had quite a bit to drink.

"You guys are such good friends." he says sloppily, as though he's about to start crying "Aren't they such good friends, Rhy?"

"The best!" says Rhys, equally sloppily, raising his cup to them.

"Come here, come here, gather in," says Gareth

"Why?" says Baz amusedly, eyebrow raised

"Picture," says Gareth, not-so-subtly suppressing a belch

Gareth, being the natural photographer that he is, somehow gets a decent photo of the four.

It hangs in both flats for years to come.

Tears falling down at the party

Saddest little baby in the room

Later, Baz strikes up a fascinating conversation about Shakespeare with one of the few sober people left in the rooms (Some cousin of Agatha's that was the designated driver for his group), when he sees Simon push through the crowd towards him and come over to him, wrapping both his arms around Baz's left one, something he only does when he's truly upset and just needs to feel Baz beside him.
